Milestones

Author :: Jens in Milestones

The English title, it does not tell right away, but Milestones by Stefan Dorra and Ralf zur Linde is a game with a medieval theme. The term milestones, that translates as "milestones" is taken literally in this context, because it is referred to the stones along the way, which indicates a certain distance to the closest major city or delimit the two duchies of each other.

Inside the box, there is a somewhat lengthy Schedule, which consists of a victory point track and a bandaged diamond-shaped road network. The paths are provided with connection points which each indicate different scores. The costs resulting from the connections diamonds are plots on which houses can later be built. Read more »

Author :: Jens in Village

village I come "vons village", so I raised the issue of Village at the start. In the game of Inka and Markus Brand in the abstract, the simple life of several generations is reflected in a small idyllic village. The families of the players taking part in local politics, learn a craft professional, go on a big trip, running a market stall or retreat to the monastery. All this takes time, which in this game is one of the main - is control elements.

Game play at Village at first appears very simple. On the board there are 8 color-coded fields for the different areas of action. On seven of them randomly drawn from a bag action stones of different colors are interpreted. The eighth area, the village well remain without action stone and can always be used if a player can use three or more matching jewels action there. This enables him to choose one of the other seven actions freely, even if there is no action all tiles.

Santiago de Cuba

Author :: Jens in Santiago de Cuba

To Havana is now the second largest city in Cuba's turn to get dedicated a board game. In Santiago, the player with the archetypal old Cuban cars are on the road, which characterize the island image. On a circular route from the port of the city and leads back to the harbor, players can visit various townspeople and their abilities to complete. Victory points are for the filling of the vessel in port. However, even if the player can transport goods to the port depends very much on the round course.

The gameplay is not really new, but composed in an interesting way. The active player moves first, the sedan is a field, or if he paid more fields before. He then takes the power of the Anwohners, before the car is, to complete. Finally, he must still enable building that must be marked with a rose in the same color range as the Cubans, in which he is currently on a visit. more »

cuba_kanad_botschaft There is another mini-expansion to Cuba, which is not available in Germany and therefore get very difficult. The construction of the Canadian embassy costs two wood, two stones and a ration of water. This is paid, you can look forward to every time you activate a box of cigars.

Naturally this does not map new twist in the game. But all the other add-in cards, it adds a little variety and can certainly think about a few small tactical operations again. For us as fans professed Cuba's message is an absolute must, because our Cuban town can not really have enough houses.

Cuba - Hacienda

Author :: Janina in Cuba - Hacienda

hazienda The hacienda is a mini-expansion of Eggert games for the strategy game Cuba by Michael Rieneck and Stefan Stadler. Gave this mini-expansion it when you buy a game at the booth of Eggert on Spiel09 in food as a free giveaway.

So it's the third building, which serves as mini-expansion next to the game Cafe and the samba school is here and grow our small town in Cuba ever leaves.

The construction cost of the hacienda, two blocks and two wooden. By building upon activation of five different commodities can be transformed into nine victory points. This action can only be performed once per activation.

Probably, this small plates bring no new moves with it. However, it is wonderful experience to see how Cuba is growing more and more, and perhaps one or the other strategy can be extended. The mini-expansion is a great gimmick, which not only delighted by collectors.
